Incoming messages to Outlook 2010 inbox are delayed – with Hotmail/Outlook.com connector

27. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , , ,

Hello everybody - the problem is: Email messages are not promptly appearing in my Outlook 2010 inbox.  I can see new messages on the web page  Outlook.Com.  But the same messages are missing from Outlook 2010.  If I manually initiate a Send/Receive the messages appear.


How to: configure Outlook 2010, with the Hotmail / Outlook.com connector, to receive emails promptly?


My troubleshooting:

  • Restarted my computer.
  • Installed the latest Hotmail / Outlook.com connector from Download.Microsoft.com.
  • In Outlook 2010 I deleted my Outlook.com account and re-installed it.

What's next?  Thanks!
